Would you rather? experience or control

[dumski]

Attend the original festival?

or

Pick the full line up for one stage now?

[bexj]

Interesting....

I don't know in all honesty

[muddychick]

The original festival hands down.

We spent more time enjoying spur of the moment stuff last year than watching bands we had planned to see. Although it wasn't a great line up for us last time we still had a brilliant festival.

Original

[JayBalls]

Instructions too complicated.

[Bobs]

Can watch my favourite bands every year, usually outside of Glastonbury, so for me, as cliché as it is, I really don't go to Glastonbury for the music, a few of the bands i really wanted to see last year gone were in the JPT, and i just didn't bother, cause the sun was shining, and was in the company of thousands of cracking individuals, so gimme 1970, that'd be memorable.

I can go to leeds, Reading, T in the Park, if i'm bothered about music. I love the nightlife, and all the quirky natured things to not go and do them!

Get me my Kasabian money William Hill and take me to the Brothers Bar, stat.

[stuartbert two hats]

Original festival. Unless I can have dead bands on, in which case I'd see The Beatles headline The Park, without a crush, as we're in fantasy land.

[dumski]

resurrecting the dead (RIP) is not an option but time travel acceptable. (obviously)

you can have the remaining members of an act if you like

[dumski]

I want to say original but I think I'd get bored, on the other hand 3/4 days of line up takes it for me!

i think . . . .

[CHRLY]

I'd take the line up. Sure it would be special to be at the original festival but being able to choose any bands I want for the pyramid would be a dream

[stardustjunkie]

Choosing the line up and getting to see it in the tiniest crowd possible!

I don't know the original festival.. It's hard to wish you could go to the original festival when the festival you fell in love with was in 2010. Although I do see a lot of people speak very fondly of the old Glastonbury, and I enjoy reading about it, it looked brilliant It's just not my Glastonbury, as I know it, the one I fell in love with.

Lineup 100%

[ghandi]

Line up I guess, I would love to select a line up of acts for one day like;

led zep ( time travel to the 70's )

Floyd ( again time travel )

Bowie

Stevie Wonder

The Jam

The pixies ( Original line up)

Bjork ( singing from 90's after sugar cubes)

radiohead ( ok computer )

Now that's a great line up on the pyramid !

[Spindles]

As I'm someone who thinks that the cost of the ticket covers 2-3 good gigs per day, I reckon the lineup does it for me every year, but there would never be a chance to experience the original again, so it would have to be that for me.

[Morse Code]

Original..... and then stick around for every year since

[MissC]

Line up without doubt, although choosing would not be easy

[Wickedfaerie]

I'd pick the line-up. I wasn't there, but if we're talking 1970, there really wasn't a lot to do then other than sit in front of the main stage anyway!

[Field Commander Jefferson]

Original, hands down!

[grumpyhack]

This was almost my first festival - I think of it as Glastonbury Minus 1.

I'd still love to see this line up today and can't think of much that has happened since that would beat it.

The very first festival I attended, the year before, was in Bath. That and Shepton Mallet were said to have partly inspired Michael Eavis.

What an introduction to music.

The Bath Festival was put on by Freddy Bannister who used to put on music nights at Bath Pavillion. He brought over a lot of US West Coast bands including Jefferson Airplane and encouraged 'up and coming' British bands including Led Zepp and Floyd.

The high spot for me though were The Liverpool Scene, fronted by poet Adrian Henri, who led the audience in a chant of "We hate Enoch." Very talented and very funny with a great lead guitarist Andy Roberts. This was their mickey take of the rising British Blues Scene

Without doubt I'd chose the first festival, as it's not all about the music for me. On top of that, you could park your car next to your tent at the first festival I believe. Very handy that.
